The toboggan at the great wall

Family travel ranges from a trip to grandma’s in the same state or the cabin in Wisconsin or Disney World in Florida to a trip to Europe or an Alaskan cruise.  More and more families are tagging along on business trips with dad and taking advantage of the perks that brings.  I found a list for families who are looking for some exotic ideas.  This is from a travel professional who travels 6-8 weeks a year in Asia, Randy Lynch.  These are some great suggestions that will provide a fun filled vacation for everyone.  Call me if you want to try one, or more!
